Colorado

This weekend we drove to Colorado to surprise one of my best friends for her birthday. We woke up at 3am and drove 8 hours to surprise her at a pizza place. I knew I was going to be a little more lenient with what I was eating but I regret that. I can’t eat a ton of food because my stomach has shrunk with healthy smaller portions but it was enough to be uncomfortable. Like I said, I am used to eating healthy small meals and sometimes, because of my job, I might miss my breakfast or lunch so I am definitely not  used to three, full sized meals with snacks in between. After that first day, my stomach was so full but I wanted to try all of these places that they don’t have where I live. On the 2nd day, I ate breakfast and after that I just wasn’t hungry. I went and ate food with everybody but it made me feel sick. Luckily at the Mexican place we went to for dinner that night,  they messed up the order my husband and I were going to share so I only ended up having water with a few chips and salsa

2 wings and 2 pieces of pizza
Fried olives split 3 ways
Several edimame 
Piece of chicken, some rice, a few veggies 

Most of sandwich and a couple fries

And not pictured are some Voodoo Doughnuts, some fast food, alcoholic drinks, chips and salsa, and sour straws.

I could not wait for Sunday morning to come so that I could get back on track. I started my day with egg bites and an americano with sugar free cinnamon dolce mixed with my protein. I had yogurt and pork rinds for a snack and then chicken for lunch. Honestly, I can’t wait to work out and get back into my routine.



I’m thankful for this experience with food. Now I am sure that this surgery won’t be a difficult transition for me and that I am more ready than ever. A healthy lifestyle is REALLY what I want

Happy anniversary

Josh is the kind of guy that you know the ladies look at but he doesn't know that.  He doesn't talk some  big game and when he was trying to win me over, he didn't use lines and sexual harassment to do it.  He has big thoughts but isn't one to tell you he is right and you are wrong; he likes digging into things and finding out WHY.  He has the biggest smile and when he gets excited about something he does little jigs or waves his hands in the air.  Josh cares what people think of him so I like to think that one of my purposes here is to teach him not to or at least care a little less (we are getting there.)  I stare at him A LOT, I love when he wears his hat backwards, he makes a simple white t-shirt look sexy as hell, and his lips are soo soft.  He makes me really mad a lot of the time but at the end of the day, I wouldn't trade him for the world. Josh is unbelievably handsome  a hard worker always willing to help others a j...

It's the most wonderful time of the year

November 1st means CHRISTMAS DECORATING!!! I love everything about Christmas.  I especially love the lights and the music so I put lights all over the inside of my house while listening to Mariah Carey in the background.  My favorite is waking up before everybody (maybe not Evie) and the only light being the Christmas tree; its magical.  Then of course comes the first snow and this year it was a little more special because I get to see it all through Evie's eyes.  Although she calls everything a snowman (she is confused and I can't wait for her to really see a snowman) she is so EXCITED about it all.  When I turned on the Christmas lights she squealed and cheered because last year she was just too little to really care or get it.  Then, when I turned on the carousel that plays Christmas songs, she got the biggest smile on her face and stood up clapping and dancing, and then yesterday, as the snow fell and covered the ground, she would get up every so often ...
